This has forced us to resignify documents such as police or medical records (the mechanisms of control of women's bodies), or to reconstruct fragments of memory with the testimonies of third parties, such as those contained in some literary, historical or biographical works. All to understand in what context women who practiced prostitution had to develop their vital and political strategies.

Faced with the historical and historiographical habit that presents them as social agents of contagion no longer health, but moral, here we give news of sex workers enrolled as militia women, of collectivized workplaces or of the official creation of a "union of love". Moments in which they appear as subjects who take positions in a context of struggle for emancipation.

Radically connected with the current debates within feminism, Putas, República y revolución offers a historical perspective that allows us to face with greater depth of field the debates around sex work and its fit in social, class, gender and political conflicts, to which it has never been alien.
